3. The 2006 Form B Prompt:
Read the following poem carefully. Then write an essay discussing how the poet uses
literary techniques to reveal the speaker’s attitudes toward nature and the artist’s task.
Form a thesis and outline in response to the above prompt. Remember that you should have 2-4 body paragraphs, each with distinct yet related ideas (you're not actually going to write the body paragraphs; you're simply planning them).
